Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
Something funky with DAR. I had my normal recording scheduled but seems when DAR can't record, it repeats itself to record...over and over (see screenshot). Also DAR was down for maintenance over the holiday weekend but it kept on scheduling recordings but recordings were not made and it just looped itself. Also, I keep deleting the recordings in the screenshot and it would not deleteughhh. +---+ |Filename: ScreenshotDARAmock1.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11933| +---+ -- chipmalee chipmalee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39278 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87361 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
I registered to Dar.fm and saved several talk radio programs. I get emails informing me that they are available to retrieve. Again, when I try to retrieve them at mp3tunes music locker on the Squeezebox, I get the mp3tunes error message: login failed. Does anyone have any possible remedies?

I assume from your profile, you have both a Squeezebox and Squeezebox Radio and your question is how to hear the radio show on your Squeezebox. There is instructions on the radio show thread on how to add the stream onto your Squeezebox favorites but you can also call the telephone number posted during the show and hear it. Hope that helps. It's better to use a audio format to explain things rather than writing back and forth on a forum. That's why I started the radio show. Of course the best format would be audio visual but radio is not that advance yet. -- chipmalee chipmalee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39278 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87361 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
Did anyone else not get their recordings on their SqueezeRadio today? Very strange. 2 scheduled recordings I made Tuesday morning never made it to my SqueezeRadio (SR) plus they were not in my MP3Locker either. Later I tested by scheduling 2 more recordings at the same time but difference stations. Very strange, all my recordings are gone on the SR now. But they are all there in my DAR.fm account. Is this a Squeezebox or DAR problem? To be continued.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
This is pretty cool. I missed the original announcement, but tested this a bit last night. As an NPR listener, most of what I would want to listen to delayed already have podcasts. For the few that don't, this is a nice solution. I noticed that when recordings complete, it takes a few hours of processing before they are available for listening. This seems like a long time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
Chip, Thanks for the feedback. Let me address the numbered cons: 1) The DAR system puts the day in the Playlist URL. Is this not sufficient for you? 2) DAR.fm has 1200 stations in our database. It's true stations do not make their stream URLs easy to find because they want you to go to their web site. Radiotime has a great database that they've pulled together over the last 6 years. We tried to work with them but they didn't want to work with us. So we're making our own. We've only been at it for 3 months and already have a good start. 3) We are testing .asx support which is a format many stations use. We should be able to support that shortly. This should enable the addition of 1000 stations. 4) We can add a smaller time increment to the recording time. I will talk to my engineers about this. 5) A free locker will hold about 70 hours of recording assuming the station transmits at 24kbps aac. This is the bit rate for most AM/FM stations. If the station transmits at a higher bit rate (like some net only stations do) it could be less than 70 hours. For $20 users can get space for about 700 hours so support DAR.fm if you like it and want more storage! I will check out your radio show. -- MR CEO, DAR.fm -- mp3michael mp3michael's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87361 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
There are 1200+ stations on DAR.fm to record, but there are many more on the net that are not yet in the system. It's easy to add a station, you just need the streaming URL. Here's instructions about how to find them. 1) Go to Google .com and search for the station name and/or call letters and pls or m3u together in one search like this: kabc pls [OR] kabc m3u 2) Sift through the Google results looking for any URL that ends in .pls. Copy this entire URL. 3) Test the URL in iTunes. Open iTunes. From the Advanced menu select Open Audio Stream and paste the URL in. If you hear nothing that is not a correct URL. Keep trying different URLs until you hear the desired audio then you'll know you have a good URL is good 4) Add the station to DAR.fm by going to this URL http://www.dar.fm/streamadd.php Type in the particulars of the station (location, genre, time zone) and then paste the URL in. It will instantly be available for recording on DAR.fm and playback on Squeezebox. -- mp3michael mp3michael's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87361 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
PROs: 1. Recording is stored on MP3Tunes Locker in sippets with labels of the name of songs or Break if there's commercials. 2. Cloud storage on MP3Tunes.com. Playback anytime, anywhere. 3. You can play back on your Squeezebox thus freeing your computer. 4. It is the closest thing to a Radio Tivo. RadioTime has recorder apps for iPhones but has suspended their Red Button recorder software. 5. This is the next killer app! This is the first of it's kind! There's rumors there will be a DAR.fm button on the next generation of Squeezebox. CONs: 1. Recording in MP3Locker sippets is hard to keep track of. There's no time log of the overall time recorded. 2. Limited radio stations in DAR.fm database. You can't add Favorite like in your Squeezebox but you can submit a new radio station URL stream. 3. Radio stream URL must include a .pls or .m3u extension (http://www.dar.fm/streamadd.php). This is no good since most streams URL are hidden, which RadioTime has been able to figure out but not reveal. 4. Recording schedule is hourly and by hourly increments only. 5. There's no indication how much of your free 2GB MP3Tunes locker storage you have left.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
Great idea!!! mp3michael. I've been trying to find something like a
RadioTivo since the 90s
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81243). The closest
thing is RadioTime, which has evolved into TuneIn but their recording
portion has been suspended.
Here's some problems I've run into in your DAR database. Your database
doesn't have a station I wanted to record so I'm submitting a URL. As
an example, I need submit Hawk 99.9 but their player is a pop up.
There's no URL or I can't find one that fits your requirement (m3u or
pls). I tried submitting RadioTime URL but your website
(http://www.dar.fm/streamadd.php) won't accept it. It came back with
Malformed stream URL or wrong file type. PLS or M3U only. Fix and
re-try.. So my question is where or how do I find the appropriate
stream URL for Hawk 99.9?
Hawk 99.9 URLs:
http://www.999thehawk.com/page.php?page_id=36466
javascript:popUp('http://player.streamtheworld.com/_players/nassau/?callsign=WODEFMplaynextauto=true#Main')
RadioTime URL:
http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s21661formats=aac,ogg,mp3,wma,wmvoicepartnerId=16serial=5f08ee5a908da686c2e0d287c765f757
http://tunein.com/radio/999-The-Hawk-s21661/
I think this is where RadioTime works its magic. They are able to
convert an unknown URL to play on the Squeezebox.
In summary, how do I record Hawk 99.9 at 720am for 15 minutes using
DAR? Thanks.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Listening to any talk show on demand on your Squeezebox
We're beta testing a new service called which operates like a Tivo for radio and we want to invite Squeezebox users to try it out. Using this service you can record radio shows and music station broadcasts to be recorded and then listen to them on demand with your Squeezebox. It operates like a DVR, but for radio content instead of TV content. As with a DVR you can time shift content and skip commercials/segments you're not interested in. It is free to use and the show guide has thousands of popular and obscure shows to choose from. The service is called http://www.DAR.fm and here's how you can try it: 1) Go to DAR.fm and search for either a show name or station. When you locate what you want click the Record button (it's the red circle). 2) Either create an account or login with your existing account. PLEASE NOTE: If you have a MP3tunes account then simply use those credentials. 3) Go to mysqueezebox.com and add the MP3tunes app to your device. Be sure and select Put icon on home page for easy access. You will need to enter the same credentials you used in step #2. 4) After each recording you should receive an email letting you know that it recorded. Go to your Squeezebox and select the MP3tunes icon and then select Playlists. In this list you should see a playlist containing your recording. It should being with DAR. Select it and enjoy radio goodness! TIP: You can pause content with the pause button. If you want to rew/ff then hold down the rew/ff button until a progress bar appears. Then release the button. Press and hold it again and you'll see the timer advance or rewind. Release it when you've moved the desired time. Please give it a try. Email any feedback to me: mich...@michaelrobertson.com. If you want content tips try the brilliant comedic genius of Phil Hendrie or the financial smarts of Dave Ramsey. -- MR -- mp3michael mp3michael's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87361 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
